The Nat King Cole Trio — Ive Got the World on a String

Merry month of may, sunny skies of blue Clouds have rolled away and the sun peeps thru May express happiness, joy you may define in a thousand ways But a case like mine needs a "special phrase" To reveal how I feel I've got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow Got the string around my finger,, What a world, what a life, I'm in love! I've got a song that I sing I can make the rain go, anytime I move my finger Lucky me, can't you see, I'm in love Life is a beautiful thing, as long as I hold the string I'd be a silly so and so, if I should ever let go I've got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow Got the string around my finger What a world, what a life, I'm in love I've got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow Got the string around my finger,, What a world, what a life, I'm in love! I've got a song that I sing I can make the rain go, anytime I move my finger Lucky me, can't you see, I'm in love Life is a beautiful thing, as long as I hold the string I'd be a silly so and so, if I should ever let go I've got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow Got the string around my finger What a world, what a life, I'm in love
